An analysis and comparison of observed Pleistocene South Carolina (USA) shoreline elevations with predicted elevations derived from Marine Oxygen Isotope Stages

Geological maps of South Carolina, covering > 6800 km², confirm the existence of eight preserved Pleistocene shorelines above current sea level: Marietta (+ 42.6 m), Wicomico (+ 27.4 m), Penholoway (+ 21.3 m), Ladson (+ 17.4 m), Ten Mile Hill (+ 10.7 m), Pamlico (+ 6.7 m), Princess Anne (+ 5.2 m), and Silver Bluff (+ 3 m). Current geochronologic data suggest that these eight shorelines correlate with Marine Oxygen Isotope Stages (MIS) as follows: Marietta—older than MIS 77; Wicomico—MIS 55–45; Penholoway—MIS 19 or 17; Ladson—MIS 11; Ten Mile Hill—MIS 7; Pamlico—MIS 5; Princess Anne—MIS 5; and Silver Bluff—MIS 5 or 3. Except for the MIS 5e Pamlico, and possibly the MIS 11 Ladson, the South Carolina elevations are higher than predicted by isotope proxy-based reconstructions. The < 4 m of total relief from the Pamlico to the Silver Bluff shoreline in South Carolina, for which other reconstructions suggest an expected relief of ~ 80 m, illustrates the lack of match. Our results suggest that processes affecting either post-depositional changes in shoreline elevations or the creation of proxy sea-level estimates must be considered before using paleo sea-level position on continental margins.     

Tectonomagmatic origin of Precambrian rocks of Mexico and Argentina inferred from multi-dimensional discriminant-function based discrimination diagrams

Several new multi-dimensional tectonomagmatic discrimination diagrams employing log-ratio variables of chemical elements and probability based procedure have been developed during the last 10 years for basic-ultrabasic, intermediate and acid igneous rocks. There are numerous studies on extensive evaluations of these newly developed diagrams which have indicated their successful application to know the original tectonic setting of younger and older as well as sea-water and hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks. In the present study, these diagrams were applied to Precambrian rocks of Mexico (southern and north-eastern) and Argentina. The study indicated the original tectonic setting of Precambrian rocks from the Oaxaca Complex of southern Mexico as follows: (1) dominant rift (within-plate) setting for rocks of 1117–988 Ma age; (2) dominant rift and less-dominant arc setting for rocks of 1157–1130 Ma age; and (3) a combined tectonic setting of collision and rift for Etla Granitoid Pluton (917 Ma age). The diagrams have indicated the original tectonic setting of the Precambrian rocks from the north-eastern Mexico as: (1) a dominant arc tectonic setting for the rocks of 988 Ma age; and (2) an arc and collision setting for the rocks of 1200–1157 Ma age. Similarly, the diagrams have indicated the dominant original tectonic setting for the Precambrian rocks from Argentina as: (1) with-in plate (continental rift-ocean island) and continental rift (CR) setting for the rocks of 800 Ma and 845 Ma age, respectively; and (2) an arc setting for the rocks of 1174–1169 Ma and of 1212–1188 Ma age. The inferred tectonic setting for these Precambrian rocks are, in general, in accordance to the tectonic setting reported in the literature, though there are some inconsistence inference of tectonic settings by some of the diagrams. The present study confirms the importance of these newly developed discriminant-function based diagrams in inferring the original tectonic setting of Precambrian rocks.     

吉林东部延边地区二长花岗岩年代学、岩石成因学及其构造意义研究

高岭岩体位于吉林省延边地区和龙市东侧,大地构造位置上位于华北板块北缘东段,岩性主要为似斑状二长花岗岩,基质为中粒-中细粒结构。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示,样品YH04和N-5的加权平均年龄分别为172.25±0.97Ma和170.9±0.68Ma,表明岩体侵位时代为中侏罗世。岩石地球化学特征上,高岭岩体样品具有高硅(69.60%~74.30%)、富铝(13.90%~15.80%)、富钾(3.05%~4.50%)和低镁(0.22%~0.82%)及Mg#(26~37)的特点。样品富集轻稀土元素,相对亏损重稀土元素(LREE/HREE=13~21),具有微弱的负Eu到正Eu异常(δEu=0.78~2.14),其稀土元素配分模式图与埃达克岩稀土元素配分模式图类似。高岭岩体样品富集大离子亲石元素Cs、Rb、Ba、K、Sr和高场强元素Th、U和Zr,同时亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta以及P元素。同时样品具有较低的初始87Sr/86Sr值(0.7039~0.7051)和负的εNd(t)值(-0.6~-0.3),且其t DM1和t DM2模式年龄分别为922~928Ma和984~1011Ma,表明研究区新元古代存在地壳增生事件。Sr-Nd同位素特征及岩石地球化学特征表明高岭岩体母源岩浆来源于加厚下地壳基性岩石部分熔融且受到了新元古代增生物质的影响。结合区域构造演化,中侏罗世高岭岩体侵位构造环境可能受到环太平洋构造体系和华北板块与西伯利亚板块持续碰撞的叠加影响。     

南岭西段加里东期苗儿山岩体锆石SHRIMPU-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其构造意义

苗儿山岩体位于南岭西段,主体为加里东期花岗岩,少量印支期和早燕山期花岗岩。加里东期花岗岩具块状构造,由早期黑云母花岗闪长岩、中期斑状黑云母二长花岗岩和晚期细粒黑(二)云母二长花岗岩组成,以斑状黑云母二长花岗岩为主。对中期斑状黑云母二长花岗岩和晚期细粒二云母二长花岗岩各进行了1个样品的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄测试,分别得到428.5±3.8 Ma、409±4 Ma的年龄值,反映出早志留世末、志留纪末-泥盆纪初2期岩浆事件。中期主体花岗岩具有富硅(SiO2=70.09%~76.59%)、中铝(Al2O3=12.71%~14.72%)、高钾(K2O=4.48%~5.73%)、中碱(Na2O+K2O=7.24%~7.91%)、高ASI(平均1.15)的特点,总体属高钾钙碱性系列过铝质花岗岩类。主体花岗岩微量元素中Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Ti表现为明显亏损,Rb、(Th+U+K)、(La+Ce)、Nd、(Zr+Hf+Sm)、(Y+Yb+Lu)等则相对富集,稀土总量中等(179.8×10-6~270.6×10-6),轻稀土富集[(La/Yb)N=5.07~14.33],具明显的负Eu异常(δEu=0.15~0.46)。岩体具有较高的ISr值(0.70660~0.72082)和较低的εNd(t)值(-8.29~-7.94),两阶段Nd模式年龄(t2DM)为1.81~1.84 Ga。C/MF-A/MF图解显示源岩为变质泥质岩和碎屑岩。上述地球化学特征表明花岗岩为S型花岗岩,源岩主要为中、上地壳岩石。花岗岩氧化物和微量元素构造环境判别图解指示岩体形成于后碰撞构造环境。基于岩石成因、构造环境判别以及区域构造演化过程,推断加里东期苗儿山花岗岩的具体形成机制为:在陆内强挤压之后挤压应力相对松弛、压力降低的后碰撞构造环境下,因地壳增厚而升温的中、上地壳岩石减压熔融并向上侵位。结合区域资料分析,苗儿山地区在奥陶纪末-志留纪初北流运动和志留纪后期的广西运动中均产生过强烈的陆内挤压和地壳增厚。     

虎头崖岩体地质地球化学特征及其对东昆仑祁漫塔格印支中-晚期构造环境的制约

虎头崖岩体位于青海东昆仑祁漫塔格成矿亚带,形成于中-晚三叠世,主要由黑云母二长花岗岩、正长花岗岩组成,局部含闪长质暗色包体。岩石高硅、高钾、富碱,SiO2含量为70.71%～77.67%;K2O含量平均为4.7%;Na2O K2O为7.86%～9.1%;K2O/Na2O平均为1.36。A/CNK比值为1.01,KN/A比值为0.86,属于高钾钙碱性系列的微过铝质I型花岗岩类。∑REE含量中等,平均为120.10μg/g;δEu值0.04～0.47;（La/Yb）值为1.52～8.06 ;稀土元素球粒陨石标准化曲线显示Eu负异常、HREE较平坦的右倾“V”型特征。岩体富集LIL和HFS元素,而Ba、Sr、Nb、Ti、P元素明显的负异常。结合区域地层岩性特征、A/MF-C/MF图解和岩体微量元素蛛网图,认为花岗岩是基性源区部分熔融和地壳物质混合的产物。结合地质特征、构造演化背景、元素判别图解等,认为包括虎头崖岩体在内的印支中晚期花岗岩形成于同造山阶段的后碰撞构造环境。印支中晚期花岗岩形成机制为：在二叠纪末-三叠纪初阿尼玛卿洋盆向北部昆仑微陆块俯冲碰撞造山并形成同碰撞/板内构造环境,期间发育与幔源岩浆底侵关系密切的源区基性岩浆岩;中-晚三叠世期,主碰撞之后挤压应力相对松弛,深部压力降低,因地壳增厚升温、岩石熔点降低而导致源区中-基性岩浆部分熔融,并在相对开放的环境下高侵位成岩     

Early Permian–Late Triassic Magmatism in the Tuotuohe Region of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau: Constraints on the Tectonic evolution of the Western Segment of the Jinshajiang Suture

In this paper we present new zircon U–Pb ages, whole-rock major and trace element analyses, and zircon Hf isotopic data for magmatic rocks in the Tuotuohe region of the western segment of the Jinshajiang suture. Our aim is to constrain the Early Permian–Late Triassic tectonic evolution of the region. Zircons from the magmatic rocks of the Tuotuohe region are euhedral–subhedral in shape and display fine-scale oscillatory zoning as well as high Th/U ratios(0.4–4.6), indicating a magmatic origin. The zircon U–Pb ages obtained using LA–ICP–MS are 281 ± 1 Ma, 258 ± 1 Ma, 244 ± 1 Ma, and 216 ± 1 Ma, which indicate magmatism in the Early Permian–Late Triassic. A diorite from Bashihubei(BSHN) has SiO2 = 57.18–59.97 wt%, Al2O3 = 15.70–16.53 wt%, and total alkalis(Na2O + K2O) = 4.46–6.34 wt%, typical of calc-alkaline and metaluminous series. A gabbro from Bashibadaoban(BSBDB) belongs to the alkaline series, and is poor in SiO2(45.46–54.03 wt%) but rich in Al2O3(16.19–17.39 wt%) and total alkalis(Na2O + K2O = 5.48–6.26 wt%). The BSHN diorite and the BSBDB gabbro both display an enrichment of LREEs and LILEs and depletion of HFSEs, and they have no obvious Eu anomaly; they have relatively low MgO contents(2.54–4.93 wt%), Mg# values of 43 to 52, and low Cr and Ni contents(8.07–33.6 ppm and 4.41–14.2 ppm, respectively), indicating they differentiated from primitive mantle magmas. They have low Nb/U, Ta/U, and Ce/Pb ratios(1.3–9.6, 0.2–0.8, and 0.1–18.1, respectively), and their initial Hf isotopic ratios range from +9.6 to +16.9(BSHN diorite) and +6.5 to +12.6(BSBDB gabbro), suggesting their primary magmas were derived mainly from the partial melting of a mantle wedge that had been metasomatized by subduction fluids. Taking all the new data together, we conclude that the western and eastern segment of the Jinshajiang suture regions underwent identical processes of evolution in the Early Permian–Late Triassic: oceanic crust subduction before the Early Permian, continental collision during the Early–Middle Triassic, and post-collisional extension from the Late Triassic.

斑岩铜矿成矿构造背景研究进展

斑岩铜矿是指与具斑状结构的中酸性侵入岩伴生,蚀变与矿化受流体、构造控制且分带明显,矿石以细脉浸染状为主,低品位、大储量的铜矿床,是最重要的铜矿床类型。大地构造背景对斑岩铜矿的形成具有重要意义,经典的斑岩铜矿主要产于岛弧、陆缘弧环境。然而,近年来国内矿床学家发现,国内形成于大陆环境的斑岩铜矿与大洋板块俯冲、板块消减作用无关,斑岩铜矿还可产于碰撞造山带,甚至是在陆内环境。相比之下,不同构造背景下形成的斑岩铜矿床含矿岩浆、成矿物质来源、矿床成因等方面存在一定差异与共性。综述了目前斑岩铜矿研究内容中的关于构造背景的一些重要观点和几个重要进展,对比了不同构造背景下形成的斑岩铜矿床的含矿岩浆、蚀变矿化、成矿流体等方面的共性与差异,以期对斑岩型矿床的成因与找矿提供一定的线索。     

VLISP与VBA结合编程在测量放线工作中的应用

作为CAD二次开发工具中比较易学的编程工具,VBA和VLISP各有优点。VLSIP善于直接使用AutoCAD的命令,而VBA用来开发对话框显得简单得多。文中介绍将它们结合起来并成功开发出一个在CAD电子图上拾取坐标生成两种不同格式的测量放线文件程序的简单实例,提出在进行CAD二次开发的过程中,发挥VBA与VLISP各自的优点,通过"中介"CAD系统变量来传递数据信息的方法,把两种程序结合起来开发CAD应用程序。
